Ug, I wrote an #UnknownArmies module about a group of ex-coworkers from <closed news service> infiltrating a rave run by a cult in order to out magic for a <billionaire trying to drive traffic to social network>, but uh, Sleepers, Cultists, and personal Drama.
And then I never got to run it!
I've washed more Yubikeys in the washing machine than I have been attacked by SIM swapping attacks. Has anyone dealt with this as a security question yet?

Ug - I need popup blocks for the web.
Why the fuck did JS thing drawing over a page was a good thing to allow?!
It's the whole history of the web.
SGML was intended to overcome proprietary file formats for documents, marking text semantically, leaving it to the user to decide how to display it. HTML was originally an instance of SGML.
From the beginning, people were trying to thwart the design of HTML to force people to see pages specific ways. The early books on web design were mostly about how designers could abuse the standard with "tricks" to control the experience of users.

I just realized that my gopher phlog has null.hosts over its gophermap because I put it in a chroot.
I should be more responsible and write a less defaulty gophermap

There's a theme in my Burning Wheel game that our spellcasters have:
Read
Calligraphy
Symbology
but not the Write skill, it often ends up leading to very funny situations.
Our belief is that Wizards can Spell but they can't spell

I wish I had a tool to manage my webapps separately from my web pages. Maybe a way to launch individual services and update them separately from my reference tool.

@Hypolite Petovan yeah - I am
I am wishing we wrote standalone software rather than just being like "let's make the web a complication target because driveby malware is too hard and installed software is too easy to learn and get used to"

One of the interesting things about ChatGPT is that I think most people who think it's smart deal with ChatGPT and not prompting a model directly.
ChatGPT is very much the most obviously designed to look human.
I rememeber GPT2 and people being like "whoa, this is cool" and then kinda... nothing. After a bit OpenAI had to be like "oh we have GPT3 now! But.... uh... if we release it, it'll end the human race. So uh... better not...."
My son has been playing he has a magic sword recently and he says "Daddy the sword turned us into different people! I'm a knight! What are you?"
I respond "I'm a wizard!"
He responds "No daddy! You have to be something different"

I am going to need a more powerful work computer
Not to do my job - but to use all the junk like Miro and Zoom and Datadog
My daily tasks are trivial for my computer to perform - but using the tools we've chosen means I need more.
This is failure of our entire industry.

@CJ the Awkward Lefty huh, seems like Windows deals less well with low RAM than I'd expect, because that seems an ok CPU and ok disk.
But I mean, don't ask me about computers I only buy stuff people are discarding and then build abominations out of it, I don't do computers anymore
Me: Uh... why would the slides be the talk? The slides are just some anchors and an agenda?
Boss: Well yes of course they are, but looking at the slides I don't understand the topic, these are just point form!

Trying to setup some stupid Amazon web portal thing - and it's... a joke.
They want me to have a massive network setup - but there's no feedback about how things are setup. And - I mean, I have the gateway connected to the gateway and then a route connected to the gateway? That seems correct?
So I go and hit my home address from the portal, and I see a burst of activity in my logs, followed by nothing, because traffic is getting to the right spot but then Amazon is ignoring that.
If you say the words return traffic routing to me - I will cut you.
Ok, maybe not, just...
